This week,we were invited to a homecoming and I was asked to give a testimony . We could not attend because of previous arrangements. The homecoming was at the First Baptist Church of Eagle Lake, Florida. I served as their pastor, of this sweet body of believers, between 1981-1986.
I just want to publicly thank them for remembering Donna and myself. One of the many facts that I remembered about the congregation, the deacons and their wives were their enduring love for the Pastor and his family.
Donna and myself just came to the church. Donna was heavy with our second child Justin. When we arrived at the parsonage, with Brian our first child,walked into the the kitchen, and what I saw next was love.
Some of the deacons wives were on their knees scrubbing the floor and some were cleaning the counter. For the new pastor and his family this demonstration of love was awesome, and it touched our hearts very much!!!!!!!
The years that followed were labors of love by the deacons, their wives, and the congregation!
To the Pastor, his family, and the congregation of Eagle Lake, Florida we love you, and wish you continued success for reaching people for the Kingdom of God!
Love,
Eddie and Donna Smatt
